I think that would be a reportable size and maybe the record! I've seen plenty of 7-8 footers, but nothing close to 9'..I know there have been anecdotal reports of TXN's that long, particularily from the "Snake King" in south Texas years ago, but I'm not sure any were ever verified..Measure that beast 5 times and give us the actual length it averages out..Dry's are awful hard to "guestimate" because of their mass..

I wouldn't be terribly suprised if it is that long, just never actually seen a 9 footer documented..

Anyone else seen a TXN at 9'?????
